Rockies 10, Rangers 3
At Salt River Fields
Hits: Catcher Chris Iannetta hit his second home run of the spring, a towering shot to center field. He’s hitting .259. That’s a good sign for a player who’s historically been a slow starter in April. … Jose Lopez made a nifty backhand, jump throw from third base for an out. His best defensive position this spring has been third base. … Troy Tulowitzki lined a two-RBI single. He’s never felt this comfortable about his swing leaving spring training. … Jonathan Herrera was in the middle of a first-inning rally with a double. He also laid down a perfect sac bunt, which is why momentum is building for him to hit second on day he plays. Herrera moved to left field in the top of the seventh. Herrera was given an error when he slipped while retrieving a ball. To carry just four outfielders, Rockies need Herrera to go to the outfield in a pinch. … Jose Morales hit a pinch-hit triple in the bottom of the sixth, helping his chances to secure the backup catcher’s job. … The Rockies improved to 17-9-1.

Misses: Left fielder Josh Hamilton lost Lopez’s towering first-inning flyball in the lights, nearly getting smoked in the head. It resulted in a two-RBI triple. Several outfielders have struggled to pick up the ball in left field at Salt River Fields, including Carlos Gonzalez. … The Rangers haven’t won a night game all spring. … Rex Brothers allowed two runs in the seventh, tagged for three hits. It was his first real hiccup of the spring.
